technologies in the treatment and management of cleft lip and palate (CLP), highlighting its …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing has demonstrated efficacy in multiple surgical
specialties. As accessibility improves, its use in specific fields deserves further attention. We …

Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of our surgical cases where we
have used 3DP technology in 10 cases from 2014 to 2016 at a tertiary care hospital in India …

Background: As 3-dimensional (3D) printers and models become more widely available and
increasingly affordable, surgeons may consider investing in a printer for their own cleft or …

Presurgical application of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) appliances, which direct tissues
closer together as the patient grows, can facilitate surgical repair of cleft lip and palate in …

Results: To test the workflow, a cleft palate plaster model was scanned into CAD software.
Through a series of linear and angular freeform manipulations of the body, the model was …

Background: Sculpted physical models and castings of the anatomy of cleft lip and palate
are used for parent, patient, and trainee education of cleft lip and palate conditions. In this …

The current state of the literature shows promising results, but has not yet been validated by
large studies or randomized controlled trials. Ultimately, further research and advancements …
